App Review – Read Later

With smartphones and tablets you usually have too many things going on at the same time, and too much information to look through. While you filter out all that you don’t care about, there usually is not enough time to check out every interesting thing you left out. For such cases, Pocket is just what you need. With a Pocket account you may save any webpage you’d like. Once you’ve looked through these, you have the option to either delete the page from your list, or move it to some other folder or category within your account. Pocket allows you to open a webpage from either the app itself or your default browser. There are also options to share the webpages on your list, either via Twitter, email, Facebook, or any other social media you wish to connect with Pocket.

Pros:

Beautiful user interface

Your Pocket account is available on the web

There is also a Mac desktop app and a Google Chrome extension for easier and quicker access

Many different apps and services can connect to your Pocket account, not just your social media accounts

All Pocket services and accounts have a seamless cross-platform sync

The app has some automatic filters, for instance, it creates an “article” folder, a “video” folder, and an “images” folder for easier browsing

When viewing links directly from Pocket you have the option to choose between “webpage view” or “article view”

Cons:

You must create an account to use it

When saving links from an outside app (like Twitter), some functions may become confusing and you could end up saving just the tweet’s image, rather than the specific link you wanted

The user interface could be simpler and more intuitive

You may download this app for free from the App Store and Google Play.
